Green synthesized fluorescent carbon dots from oak apple for detection of efavirenz.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a facile synthesis of fluorescence carbon dots (CDs) from local oak apple (O-CDs) in the mountainous region of Zagros was performed through hydrothermal treatment. The characterization of O-CDs was carried out by SEM, TEM, FTIR, EDX, Mapping, lain scan, and AFM, respectively. In addition, the fluorescence of CDs was quenched by efavirenz with a linear concentration of 10 to 450 μM, associated with the limit of detection of 3 μM. Subsequently, the CDs were successfully applied for efavirenz probing in blood plasma environment.
